Eegan Inc.

October 3, 2009

Eegan Inc. has stepped into its third year of service effective September 27, 2009. At this juncture, we would like to thank all our patrons and volunteers who made our mission a success. Due to generosity of our patrons, Eegan supports 29 needy people of whom 16 are destitute elders and 13 are budding students aspiring higher education.

Ms. Shanmugapriya finished her grade 12 and wanted to continue her education. However, due to her family condition she could not afford college education. Her father is working as a bell boy in a local motel and is earning a monthly income of INR 2,000 (approximately $44). With the family of four with 2 female children it is difficult for the family to make both ends meet. Ms. Shanmugapriya learned about Eegan’s services through her friend and approached for help. Eegan promised to help her if she could secure an admission in a college. She applied for admission in Thiruchendur Govindamaal Aadhithanar College to earn a Bachelors degree in Computer Applications and succeeded in securing admission. The rest is history. Now she is being supported by Eegan and the organization will stand behind her until she finishes her college in good standing. In her own words, if she was not helped by Eegan, she would have been working in a local store to support her family. Eegan Scholar – India is designed to help students like Ms. Shanmugapriya. It is a project that helps to make the dream of higher education come true for students that come from poor families who cannot afford to spend money on higher education.
